Who writes the orchestral parts of rock songs? I was just listening to Reasons For Waiting by Ian Anderson, and there’s an orchestral part. I don’t think Anderson had an extensive music education, so who writes the violin parts and such on this and other rock songs? Are there orchestral ghost writers who listen to the song and then write the accompanying parts? submitted by /u/ianaad…

Wth is going on with Rage Against The Machine on music apps? I use Youtube music and it might be a problem specific to the app but it constantly skips over most of their songs due to a warning. I’ve confirmed that I don’t mind countless times and my age is 18+ yet the problem persist. I’m even unable to download most of their songs, I tried downloading the “Rage Against The Machine” album and the only son…

What do people think you listen to vs what you actually listen to? Based on my appearance I usually get the stereotypical popular girl artists like Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Olivia Rodrigo, etc. anything pop or country. Vs me actually listening to: Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Fleshwater, System of a Down. Basically anything classic rock/metal. submitted by /u/biscuitsandcream1

90s pop songs with deep-voiced spoken word bridges or intros? Edit to add: I’m specifically hoping for R&B / boy band type songs. I’m looking for examples of songs with deep-voiced spoken word sections like the beginning of Backstreet Boys’ “I’ll Never Break Your Heart” or Boyz II Men’s “On Bended Knee.” I feel like there are a decent number of examples from the 90s and early 2000s but I’m scratching my he…

Thoughts on Styx? I adore Styx. My personal favorite band from the 70s, actually (Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd are all awesome but Tommy Shaw and co are next level. Everyone probably knows Come Sail Away, Renegade, and Mr Roboto. But Crystal Ball and Suite Madame Blue are also essential listening. submitted by /u/Interesting_Paper_41

However, there is one sticking point, their name. It’s trying too hard to be cool and doesn’t feel clever. I’ve never liked a bands music where the name has bothered me this much. Does anyone agree and are there any other bands where you listen to them less becau…
